The importance of English及两篇满分范文
The importance of English
With the process of globalization in both economy and culture, there is no denying that English is indeed an efficient tool for international communication. So a sound knowledge of English will give you an edge in your job-hunting in the foreseeable future. Besides, it opens up a fresh new window to the world around you and afar from you. You may get up-to-date news and technological developments as fast as possible. On the other hand, if you do not know English, you are in danger of being excluded from what is going on in the world today. Thus I firmly agree that this international language should always be on the curriculum.

Children should never be educated at home by their parents. Give your opinion.

In some countries a small number of parents are choosing to educate their children at home rather than sending them to school. This may be for practical reasons, such as when a family lives a long way from the nearest school, or through parents’ personal choice to take on the responsibility for their children’s education.

Educating your children at home does seem to have a number of advantages. First of all, parents may be able to provide a more practical education for their children than schools can, teaching skills needed in the real world such as home management or gardening. A child’s own home is likely to provide a more relaxing atmosphere for study than that which a school can offer. Furthermore, parents are in a better position to keep their children away from bad influences if they can keep watching over them at home. Thirdly, parents are often said to know what is best for their children.

However, there are many arguments in support of sending children to school rather than educating them at home. Children are isolated at home; at school they are given the opportunity to develop in a social context, and become accustomed to meeting people independently. Moreover, schools can provide professionally trained teachers and all kinds of educational facilities. Finally, parents are too emotionally ‘close’ to their children to make very good teachers.

In my opinion, education at school is preferable to education at home. There are special cases (for example, for disabled children) in which home education is the only option; however, for the vast majority of children greater benefits are gained by going to school.
It is now possible to perform everyday tasks, such as bank transaction, shopping or even office works, without meeting people face to face. What are the effects it may have on individuals and the society as a whole?

Thanks to the development of communication technology, nowadays we can accomplish many of our everyday tasks without meeting each other in person, such as paying bills and buying books. In my point of view, it has both positive and negative effects for individuals as well as our society.
It is clear that fulfilling some tasks without seeing people face to face is highly efficient. In the past, if we needed to buy something, we had to go to the shopping mall; but nowadays all can be done with a click on the keyboard and the goods will be delivered home, even at a lower price. And if we want to make a transaction from one bank account to another, we do not have to go directly to a bank or wait for a desperately long queue; instead we may comfortably make use of the self-banking service at home provided access to the internet. Thus, efficiency of work and life has been both highly improved owing to the technological advances.
On the other hand, lack of face-to-face communication also brings some problems. One of the biggest concerns is the safety. With increasing virus threats and well-trained hackers, online deals such as bank transactions are well exposed to heavy loss as well as to great inconvenience. Identity theft and other problems should be well noted by either individuals or various organizations. Another problem may lie in the fact that people might become somewhat indifferent and feel isolated in the long run without meeting others in person, since humans are emotional creatures.
Overall, there are both favorable and unfavorable effects on individuals and society if everyday tasks are performed without people meeting each other. Personally, I am fairly optimistic about its future and I also fully understand the necessity for both individuals and government to pay adequate attention to the safety of such dealings.

报告类，家庭关系疏远
With divorce rates and family breakdowns increasing globally, it is generally accepted that facilities today are not as close as they used to be.

Divorce and family breakdown were virtually unheard of just 100 years ago. Now, however almost half of all marriages fail. This phenomenon is symptomatic of the growing distance between family members in modern society. In this essay, I intend to explore the sources of this problem along with some possible solution to it.

Chief among the causes of this problem is the modern lifestyle. Today’s parents have to work harder than those of previous generations to support their families. Traditionally, one parent assumed the role of breadwinner, while the other—typically the mother—acted as the homemaker. Recently, though, double income families have become the norm. Consequently, an increasing number of children now grow up in a parentless environment. Little wonder, then, that they feel alienated. Another contributing factor is the passive and solitary nature of many modern forms of entertainment. Watching TV too much tends to have an unfavorable influence on the family relationship, by which I mean if one spends the vast majority of his spare time on television, he will lack sufficient time for communication with the family members, which may possibly result in the alienation in the family.

In order to resolve this sense of alienation within families, I believe we must first address its root causes. Perhaps the most effective methods of doing this would be for governments to offer financial incentives to parents who choose to remain at home and take care of their families. Admittedly, such incentives would probably not fully compensate couples for lost income; however, they would at least soften the hardship of living on a single income and provide an alternative for parents who would rather remain at home but are unable to do so because of financial constraints. One further measure would be to promote more interactive leisure activities in the community through public education campaigns.

In conclusion, I believe that this is clearly a problem of such complexity that no solution is likely to be workable in the short term. However, I believe that the measures outline above would constitute a good first step.

博物馆范文
What are the purposes of places such as museums and how should they be funded?

In recent decades, an increasing number of museums and galleries have been built in my country, most of which are equipped with latest technologies and advanced facilities. What is the function of such places and who should be responsible for financing such places?

It is apparent that these museums firstly serve as places to shed light on the history and cultures that have been created by our brilliant forefathers over a span of thousands of years. For example, visitors to the Palace Museum can be impressed with the magnificence of the artistic works created by the ancient Chinese people and those to China Science and Technology Museum can never lose sight of the technical achievements done both historically and currently. All of these experiences will result in a clearer understanding of how things once were and where society is, which is especially beneficial to those young minds who will be most likely to be interested and inspired to explore the unknown world.

From the above discussion, we can see that the main purposes of a museum had never involved a profit orientation so I find myself in agreement with those claims that such places should be funded by governments. The reasons are highly evident in that they may run out of funds for the daily maintenance and their personnel since they are not profit- making companies and therefore fail to serve the purposes mentioned above.

Of course, some people may argue that a government has a rather finite budget and a lot more essential tasks to carry out, such as education or healthcare of the general public, especially those in poor areas. I fully understand such concerns but still firmly believe that government has a major role to play in financing museums—at the very least, there should be reasonable governmental subsidies. Besides, some other practical approaches should be explored. For example, companies should be encouraged to sponsor various museums or some other kinds of donations from individuals can also serve an indispensable part.

弱势群体的范文一篇：
Today, a range of technology available increases the gap between the rich and poor. Some people think it produces the opposite effects. Discuss these views.

A variety of modern technologies, such as computers, mobiles , are hailed as great inventions to create a brand new world, where all the members would have equal opportunities to live happily.

With a tendency to hold that the economical advantages are deeply rooted in the privilege of accessing information, the advocates of this opinion claim that in this Information Age, everyone has been granted a better opportunity to have easier access to information than ever before, and the availability of useful information would then largely guarantee a better prospect for all the people. I think this argument is too idealistic and over-simplistic. In fact, those who can benefit most from this Information Age and make most money out of the so-called “knowledge explosion” are by and large those who are already technically rich and therefore economically advantaged.
On the other hand, those currently impoverished people are correspondingly being put at a disadvantaged by the swelling of modern technologies, because few of them can afford the expenses of technological equipment. For example, farmers in the remote rural areas, who are mainly concerned about daily necessities, cannot buy mobiles or computers easily. Even though they have some fantasies about a technically modern life, they are more likely to be disadvantaged by their poor education background, for most of the poor, from farmers to city workers, only have had a basic education.

To conclude, it is possible that the poor may improve their living standard, which I surely do not deny, but it is also predictable that the disparity between the rich and the poor is doomed to enlarge. No efforts to improve the life quality of the poor should be spared by governments and some relevant bodies—it is clear that technology has no such more responsibilities.

城市扩大论
Statistics show that cities are increasing in size. What do you think are the causes and possible consequences?

Most cities are expanding in terms of population and land area. City residents are daily reminded of this growth by the erection of new high-rise buildings and the extended bus routes. Generally a good thing, the expansion of a city is not often welcomed.

The influx of immigrant workers is the biggest reason behind city expansion. Lured by the prospect of employment and a better life in big cities, people from poorer regions come in millions. In order to accommodate an increasing number of people, cities are forced to expand. In addition, the expansion is also necessitated and fuelled by rapid economic growth. Most cities are also centers for trade and industry, the development of which requires the use of land. Vast stretches of land has to be used to improve the infrastructure.

This kind of growth may lead to dire consequences. Population growth almost invariably causes traffic congestion. The building of new roads often lags far behind the increase in the number of cars and city dwellers. As a result, people can be trapped in cars for up to an hour during rush hours. Worse still, a huge population often puts too much pressure on city’s infrastructure. Many newly arrived immigrant workers live in appalling conditions, sharing a room with four or five people. The local people also experience a decline in public service because it was designed only for `a certain number of people. Last but not least, urban sprawl often causes severe environmental damage. Trees, fields and even villages have to be sacrificed because of the unrelenting pace of urban sprawl. The only defensive against it is a balanced development of all regions, both urban and rural.

城乡论
These days, it seems that an increasing number of people are leaving rural areas to live in the city. Discuss some of the effects of rural depopulation (migration from the country to the city) and suggest some ways in which this trend could be reversed.

While country towns were once vibrant and growing places, these days many appear to be dying as people move to the city in search of work and excitement. In this essay, I intend to discuss the impact of this problem as well as how more people could be encouraged to live in rural areas.

Surprisingly, the most serious consequences of rural depopulation are often felt in urban areas. As a result of overcrowding, cities throughout the world today are increasingly prone to environmental problems like air, water and noise pollution. Beijing is a particularly good example of this. Further, the uncontrolled growth of cities also gives rise to social problems such as high unemployment, crime and, in less affluent countries, the creation of slums. Clearly, there is a limit to how many people can live in one area before living standards are negatively influenced.

In order to stem the tide of rural depopulation, I believe that we must first address its root causes. At the heart of the matter is the disparity between services and facilities in the country and those in the city. I firmly believe that urban and rural dwellers alike would find the idea of country life far more appealing if high quality shopping centers, cinemas, swimming pools, restaurants, libraries, schools and hospitals were more readily available in the country. One further method of attracting people to the country would be for governments to provide financial incentives to businesses and professional workers who willingly relocate to rural areas.

In reality, this problem is unlikely to be resolved in the short term. However, it is by no means insurmountable, and I am fully convinced that more people will choose the country life as city life becomes less comfortable and more expensive.

1 China has experienced great changes in recent decades due to economic and social reforms. The gap between cities and the countryside has
